Therefore, please read the following points very carefully before connecting and
usingtheproductforthersttime.
a) General
• Theunauthorisedconversionand/ormodicationoftheproductisnotpermitted
for safety and approval reasons (CE). Never dismantle the product.
Maintenance, adjustment, or repair work should be carried out only by a special-
ist/specialist workshop.
VERSION 02/16
Charge the batteries about every 3 months; otherwise self-discharge can lead to a
so-called deep discharge, which causes the batteries to become unusable.
Disconnect the battery from the charger when the battery is fully charged.
When used incorrectly (i.e. through an excessive charging current or incorrect
polarity), the rechargeable battery can be overcharged or destroyed. In the worst
case, the rechargeable battery can explode and thereby cause serious damage.
Never damage the battery, never let the battery fall, do not pierce the battery with
any objects! Avoid applying any mechanical loads to the battery, never pull on the
battery’sconnectorcables!Thereisariskofreandexplosion!
These guidelines must also be observed when the battery is inserted into the
model (if the model is removed, for example).
Ensure that the battery does not overheat during usage, recharging, discharging,
transport or storage. Do not place the battery adjacent to sources of heat (e.g.
cruise control, motor), keep the battery away from direct sunlight. There is a risk
ofreandexplosionifthebatteryoverheats!
The battery must not reach a temperature of more than +60 °C (any additional
manufacturer warnings with other limitations must also be heeded as applicable!).
If the battery is visually damaged do not use it any longer. Do not recharge it.
Thereisariskofreandexplosion!
Only touch the battery with care, use suitable protective gloves.
Dispose of the battery in an ecologically sound fashion.
If the battery manufacturer provides no information as to maximum permissible
charge current, charge the LiPo battery with the maximum current of 1C. This
means that the charging current may not exceed the capacity value imprinted on
the accumulator (e.g. accumulator capacity 3000 mAh, max. charge current
3000 mA = 3 A).
Follow any additional safety guidelines of the manufacturer of the used recharge-
able battery/battery pack.

If your battery has a balancer connector with other plug type than XH, there will be a
matching adapter in the accessories trade.
Only connect a single battery to the charger at a time. Always use only one of the
XH sockets at a time.
PleasenotethatonlyaLiPobatteryofserialcongurationcanbecharged(marked
e.g. as 2S, 3S, 4S).
Special batteries with e.g. connectors of both cells led out separately cannot be
charged by this charger.
The charger starts the charging process and charges the LiPo battery via its balancer
connector. Adaptation of the cell voltages occurs at the same time, so that all cells have the
samevoltageafterthechargingprocessiscompleted(insignicantdeviationsdependon
technical factors).
The charging current or capacity of the charger (see chapter “Technical data”) is divided to
cells depending on their number. The more cells the connected battery has, the longer is
the charging process.
Four LEDs on the charger indicate the charging status (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%).
Once the LED “100%” lights up, the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the battery from
the charger.
Now, either connect another battery for charging, or disconnect the charger from the mains
voltage. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the product in a cool, dry, dust-free place out of the reach of children.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any
reason.
Unplug the connected battery from the charger before cleaning. Disconnect then the charger
from the mains voltage. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Only clean the product with a soft, clean, dry cloth. Dust can be easily removed using a clean,
soft brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals for cleaning; these can lead not only to
discolouration, but can also damage the product.
